It finally managed to happen and manifest, France’s AMESOEURS (featuring Neige of ALCEST and award winning animation filmmaker Fursy Teyssier of LES DISCRETS) have completed work on their mind-blowing debut album, simply titled "Amesoeurs".

Being released in North America by Profound Lore (Code666 in Europe), following the band’s highly praised and acclaimed 2007 "Ruines Humaines" EP and with the justifiable praise and hype built upon the EP, the AMESOEURS self-titled debut full-length is easily one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Formed by Neige and vocalist Audrey Sylvain in 2004, "Amesoeurs" is a bleak, violent, melancholic, suffocating, desolate vision, one brimming with negativity and despair. Through their music, AMESOEURS portray a world of urban decay, a lifeless wasteland and a dark realm that becomes all too real in an age of social decay.

By mixing elements of harsh melancholic black metal, post-punk and ‘80s new wave influenced heavily by acts like JOY DIVISION, early CURE, and DEPECHE MODE, "Amesoeurs" is an album that mixes elements for each of the aforementioned genres into one mind-numbing and unrelenting sonic journey where each song translates into a different expression which all weave together to form an album that will go down as one of the most memorable releases of 2009. Calling this a masterpiece would be a severe understatement.
